About Average

By: Andrew Clements

Jordan feels average in everything - not tallest or shortest, not fastest or slowest, not the

best or worst student - she usually gets C's on her report card.  But, Jordan wants to be great at something that matters!  When a girl at school picks on Jordan, it actually helps Jordan realize that she is a pretty good problem-solver.

Mrs. Senechal says:
This book is just over 100 pages, so it is a great book if you're looking for something shorter and easier to read.  The whole book actually tells the story of one day in Jordan's life, but the author uses her memories to help you get to know her and learn more about how she feels.  This story reminds us that God has given each of us special talents - even when we don't notice them ourselves!
